Letters To Columbus Jewry: UJA Makes Urgent Appeal
A letter to Columbus Jewry:
We have gone through one of the most eventful periods in Jewish History. None of us can ever forget ■the anguish and concern which moved us as we witnessed Israel's desperate struggle for survival against overwhelming odds. .
In the hour of crisis, American Jewry responded magnificently and helped assure Israel's continued existence and viability. To all who were involved, it was a heartwarming experience. We may all take pride in this great achievement. ~ From the beginning of the war on Yom Kippur until October 31st,—a period of three weeks—UJA received in cash the sum Of $250,600,000—reaching the quarter billion objective set for October. But The Job Is Not Finished. The excitement, perhaps, is over but—the emergency continues and the future is fraught with danger and difficulty. '
Israel's economy is strained to the utmost by the costs of the war and burden of defense.-As a result, the government cannot participate, as it has in the past, in those fields for which the United Jewish Appeal has responsibility. UJA must provide for the continuing and growing Russian immigration, housing, retraining, education, medical services, care of the aged, and other social welfare needs. These Depend On American Jewry as never before.
A minimum of $150,000,000 more must be raised in December. It is an achievable figure. If you will secure payment from Columbus Jewry of a substantial sum toward their 1974 Pledges, this amount together with' that sent in by qther Federations.can raise the a,mounf set as our goal Every day means so rrtuch. i' ! .'>'••''
We must keep the cash flowing to make sure that human needs in Israel are not imperiled. We are fighting against time. Won't you help? Pay something on your 1974.pledge at this time.
Let me again- express my appreciation for all you have done. <

By Ben Gallon, JTA Staff Writer

NEW YORK, (JTA) - Jewish community relations experts have reported that — despite widespread fears among American Jews of an anti-Semitic backlash stemming from the energy crunch — there has been no evidence to date of any- significant anti-Semitic reaction in the United States stemming from the energy crisis. There was also agreement among spokesmen for four national community relations agencies that scattered incidents, suggesting such a development, required at¬ tention and they ■ reported that their agencies were keeping a close watch. These incidents havelhcluded anti- Jewish bumper stickers and hostile editorials and letters to newspaper editors. The _tneme -of ■ the -bumper "stickers; originally reported as having been seen in some Midwest areas a few weeks ago and more recently in New York; is: "We Don't Need Jews But We Do Need Oil." The agencies asked by the J.T.A. for reports on the problem were ttie National
Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council, the American Jewish
Congress, the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and the American Jewish Committee. Ben¬ jamin Epstein, ADL director, said of the possibility of a backlash that
"it has not yet taken place in any form that we have been able to identify. We have found sporadic examples reflected in some newspaper editorials, bumper stickers

WASHINGTON, (JTA) - Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger said on Dec. 6 that the U.S. government is "prepared to consider in¬ dividual or joint guaran¬ tees" of a Middle East peace settlement by forces outside the region but that he is "somewhat dubious" about the "permanent stationing" of. .U.S. or .Soviet troops there? "We don't rule it out totally," Kissinger told a news conference at the State Department, but the U.S." will be "reluctant to get into this," he said. He recalled that the United States told the UN Security Council in Oct., when it was establishing the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF, that it opposed the, participation in that force of any of the Council's five permanent members, "all of which incidently have nuclear weapon capability." Kissinger said the issue of guarantees would; come up only after a settlement is reached among the parties Ob borders ■ and security arrangements such ;'■ as demilitarized zones and joint inspection teams. "Then we
will know what it is the outside parties should guarantee," he said. Kissinger observed that despite outbreaks of fighting along the cease-fire lines and the break off of Israeli- Egyptian disengagement talks at Kilometer 101, it is "extremely probable" that' the Middle East peace.
conference will begin on schedule in Geneva Dec. 18. Kissinger said that "Some technical details remain to be worked out such as the form and nature of the in¬ vitations" to the parties. But he said these matters Tvere "relatively easily solvable." He said the U.S. continued to

Although several Protestant, and Catholic organizations in Columbus and across Ohio have taken official stands in support of Cesar Chavez' United Farm Workers Union, there is still no formal statement from the Columbus Jewish community.

Relations Committee of the Columbus Jewish Federation has yet issued a formal statement.
The United Farm Workers Union is currently in a battle on the West Coast with the Teamsters Union over which group represents tiie farm laborers, known as one of the most impoverished minorities in the country. The U.F.W. has accused the teamsters: of signing "sweetheart" contracts with lettuce and grape growers, contrary to the interests of the workers.
